A theoretical and computational framework for studying creep crack growth

In this study, crack growth under steady state creep conditions is analysed. A theoretical framework is introduced in which the constitutive behaviour of the bulk material is described by power-law creep. A new class of damage zone models is proposed to model the fracture process ahead of a crack ti...
